Place ID: 4301
A bay about 12 miles wide, lying between Cape Evans and Hut Point Peninsula on Ross Island. This area was explored by the NAE, 1901-04, but the name was first applied by the BAE, 1910-13, which built its headquarters on Cape Evans. The name was given because this portion of the coast is dominated by Mt Erebus. |
